If you haven't already purchased or don't plan to buy the videos or DVDs of
the six-hour miniseries "Broadway: The American Musical," which became

Columnist Walter Winchell is credited with inventing the phrase The Big
Apple, which he started using in 1927. The nickname for New York City, though,
dates to at least the early 1920s. Horse-race reporter John Fitzgerald wrote in
1924 that it was the name given by New Orleans stable hands to New York
racetracks because of the apples fed to horses.

(It would be nice to make a nickel from this, after twelve years. Wonder what
they said about the origin of "Great White Way"--ed.)
